Stok Kangri Summit Climb

A great trip that consists of a number of valley walks, acclimatisation climbs and satellite peaks in preparation for the summit bid. Paid off as all those that set off for the summit reaching it.
Overall it was well organised and good fun. I hope I've made friends for life from it.
Thanks you Exodus!

LADAKH: STOK KANGRI CLIMB

An inspirational trek encompassing the diversity of remote Ladakh; from colourful Buddhist monasteries to jagged snow-clad peaks, wild campsites nestled on the barren slopes of this high altitude desert, and intriging multi-coloured rock formations. All this culminating with the challenge of ascending a 6000m peak, which dominates the skyline.

LADAKH: STOK KANGRI CLIMB

I can't recommend the Exodus Ladakh/Stok Kangri trek highly enough. If you enjoy breathtaking views far from the crowds with a stunning glacier and ridge walk summit ascent then this is the trip for you! It's not an easy trek, but it's well within the grasp of fit or experienced hikers and is thoroughly enjoyable, and made all the better if you are lucky enough to have Valerie Parkinson and Sukman lead it!

LADAKH: STOK KANGRI CLIMB

Really well organised, a good route but absolutely not for the faint hearted or those not accustomed to altitude (I am now a Diamox junkie!). Be prepared for some cramped nights in the 2 man tents (you can opt for a single I now know :-( )

LADAKH: STOK KANGRI CLIMB

A truly excellent trip. The itinerary is well thought-through, delivering both a good altitude acclimatisation schedule and fantastic views and walking every day of the trek, making it an excellent trip in its own right and not just a peak-bagging expedition. It helped that we had a superb group – the 8 of us got on extremely well. Impeccable organisation throughout. Overall – possibly the best trek I have ever been on (out of c.10-12).

LADAKH: STOK KANGRI CLIMB

Overall, a fantastic trip through breathtaking (and not just due to the altitude) scenery, in a unique part of the world. The route taken by Exodus is, for the most part, not the standard tourist route, so for the majority of the trip you don't experience the hoards that you usually do on a climb such as Kilimanjaro, and most days you don't see any other climbers. The aclimatization days in Leh allow you to experience some of the the local culture, and although Kashmir is by no means a wilderness destination (as you will see when you get to Leh), you generally won't come across too many people that have visited that part of the world.
